SCRIPTURE

"if thou shalt obey the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn unto Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul." — Deuteronomy 30:10 (ASV)

If you shall hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God
Or rather, "for you shall hearken" F16 ; seeing it is before promised that the Lord would circumcise their hearts to love him, and they should obey his voice, (Deuteronomy 30:6Deuteronomy 30:8) . The Targum is,

``receive the Word of the Lord:'' to keep his commandments and his statutes, which are written in this
book of the law ;
particularly in this chapter, and all that are of a moral nature:

[and] if you return unto the Lord your God with all your heart, and
with all your soul ;
or, "for you shall return" as it is promised they should, (Deuteronomy 30:8) .
